jum33: On those loads you listed, you should be able to get a good 30 minutes (half-hour) backup max. It may also drop to around 10 minutes backup after few weeks of use. 5 Likes |

[quote author=dollarnaira post=108091873] Do u know d meaning of bms? Battery management system[/quote So let me understand . You just plug and play. No monitoring . Ok you believe it is only lithium that uses bms. |

[quote author=samnaija I think dollarnaira was just joking..... There's no system that doesn't need monitoring/maintenance, including our body system. |

earthrealm:Thank you. Battery has been installed for a year now but one or two keeps deviating. I have used battery tester to test and it says all are 100% ok. Inverter is MUST hybrid and has one of its battery terminals burnt but succeeded in reconnecting the cable. Its after this burnt terminal that the batteries start experiencing irregular voltage. Still searching for the terminal online. |

sathob: Which kind of calculation is this, multiplying 84Ah x 12v and the answer being in Ah instead of Wh? You now used 70 which may be in amperes to divide 1008ah to get 14 hours. Check your calculations as it is wrong especially the units.

Hello I need advice from solar users ND installers I use a tabular battery 200ah*2 4 panels ND there abouts I've been hearing from people's saying a 200ah lifepo lithium battery serves as a 400ah tabular in terms of duration ND power load I want to know if this is true Rumor has It that tabular batteries barely last 3yrs ND lifepo does over 6yrs So I'd like to know If all those claims right Moving to a new place ND thinking of switching to this lithium batteries Pls is this a good move as I want more lasting battery duration( I get like 14hrs from d tabular..the lifepo can do 24hrs?) Pls educate me by making d wrong move Thanks |

My understanding is, you are advised to use the Lead Acid batteries to not more than 50% of capacity while LiFePo4 batteries would allow you drain them close to 0%. That's the difference. I still use the same calculation for Lead Acid for LiFePo4 though. drizzypat: 1 Like |

gadgetplanetng:u use lifepo4? What can you say but the duration..from ur post the lifepo4 can do x2 of lead acid |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by gadgetplanetng: 11:05am On Dec 01, 2021 |
drizzypat: I use LiFePo4. I'd rather use x1.5 if I want to use a factor but for peace of mind I use the same size. It's not advisable draining LiFePo4 to 0% regularly (sometimes you drain your phone/laptop and it doesn't come on anymore) Rule of Thumb for Lithium to last long is Charging to 80% and draining to 20% (usable 60%) which is a bit more than the ideal usable 50% of Lead Acid. |

Good day house. Please I need help with 500w-800w inverter And the best 12v 150ah/200ah battery. Just something small. Something similar to this thread without the solar panel. https://www.nairaland.com/6868224/how-managed-light-situation-apartment Please I need recommendations. |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by gadgetplanetng: 11:28am On Dec 01, 2021 |
somebody02: The inverter he got is a good deal price wise though I've not seen reviews on durability. The battery he got has a lot of bad reviews |

Sometime recently a member @En0uwem of this forum had a problem with his solar setup not charging well and not serving him as expected, he reached out to perform audit at his site It was discovered his Kartel inverter consumed up to 240W while inverting and his base loads were hovering between 700-800W, from calculations it is noted that his daily usage had taken the energy generated by the panels leaving him with little energy by days end. We were able to 1. Add extra panels to allow for more charge time and load provision via self consumption 2. Allow increased airflow and optimised the solar panel angles 3. Arrange the DC terminals to charge and discharge equally 4. Protect the setup against surge arising from lightning 5. Introduced OCPD and a means of shutdown in cases of fault or mainteance Now the setup has seen improved charge time and usage our Team will like to thank you for the hospitality and attention given to us while with you. pics 1: Old solar panel arrangement pics 2: Rearranged setup with additional accessories pics 3: Rearranged Solar panels with newer additions 4 Likes 1 Share

^^^ nice job @olopan. my epever 5kw hybrid consumes about 40w to 50w. the kartel consuming 240w is still a big waste. he should work towards replacing it with a something like this rugged TBB power inverter that has incredible low self consumption of around 17w to 22w |

gadgetplanetng:abit more? So it's nt entirely worth d change from tabular? Was thinking I'll get x2 as ppl say looking solely at d price for a 200ah costing 380 |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by dollarnaira: 2:10pm On Dec 01, 2021 |
somebody02:Still doubt that a single 150w panel will charge 180amp battery full. |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by somebody02: 2:19pm On Dec 01, 2021 |
dollarnaira: Wow! But is normal NEPA supply sufficient enough to get the job done? Not considering the panel for now, electricity is still relatively stable, just something to augment. |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by gadgetplanetng: 2:41pm On Dec 01, 2021 |
Reasons why I would go for them over Tubular are: 1. They charge faster, can take much more charging amps 2. They last for roughly 10x cycles more (all things equal, they would still be running when an equivalent Tubular is due for replacement) 3. Consume less space and can be indoors as they don't vent acid 4. They are lighter to move about 5. I'd rather just monitor voltages and parameters on my screen than do this in addition to monitoring acid level. drizzypat: 8 Likes |
